Chris Brown Runs Its On 'The O.C.'

Chris Brown has an upcoming guest role on The O.C. starting Jan. 4. Chris, in a multi-episode arc will play Will Tutt, a lonely band geek (wow, how dorky does that look) at The Harbor School who befriends Kaitlin Cooper (Willa Holland, pictured above). As their friendship grows (they work on a project together), a possible romance blossoms in Orange County. The O.C. episode “The My Two Dads” airs Thursday, Jan. 4 @ 9PM ET/PT.

Chris on his role on The O.C.: “I play, like, a band geek — I’m really stepping out of my own character. I was kind of a geek in school, grade-wise. But style-wise, I was always popular and cool. But [on the show] I’m geeked out all the way. I’m just trying to be myself and then be the character [the role calls for]. I don’t look at it like this role takes away from who I am.”

Chris was recently named Billboard Magazine’s 2006 ARTIST OF THE YEAR. He will make his motion picture debut January 12, 2007 in Sony Screen Gems’ Stomp the Yard.
